For my family, most of the bullying we have experienced has been in church or Christian social groups. Bullying is the opposite of what Jesus taught and the opposite of how we are called to live as Christians. I’m not bagging on Christians, but I am calling all of us, together, to do better.

Part of my own personal healing from the bullying my family has experienced has been doing a deep dive into the scriptures to see what God says about bullying, and I will say I was surprised by some of what I found. I was curious about the current research about bullying and interestingly enough, it mostly agreed with with scripture. I’ll be sharing what I have found with you over the next few weeks.
